Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program
As the curtain opens this evening, it is difficult for most of our Company to look back fifteen years to that time when the Peter Quince Performing Company experienced its birth. What began as a dream in the minds of founders Reed Humphrey and Emily Mueller has grown into a tradition in youth theatre which has miraculously been repeated for fourteen seasons. Once again, in our fifteenth production, we wish to recreate this miracle in a spirit of excellence realizing that it has been made possible through the generosity of the people in our audience this evening. We, the members of the Peter Quince Performing Company, take this moment to offer you our standing ovation -- the actor's greatest tribute -- in recognition of your enthusiastic support of theatre in the youth.
Sincerely,
Steven J. Gerndt
Producer/Chairman of the Board
Director's Note from the program
My first exposure to the "spirit" of Peter quince and the magic of the theatre was when I was eleven years old and a street urchin in PQPC's fifth anniversary production of "Oliver!" Ten years and ten shows later I find myself still under the magic spell of Quince and theatre, having the privilege of being Director for this season's production. Tonight you will see a group of individuals who, like the first Quincers, have the "spirit" . . . courage, creativity, and dedication . . . the factors which make Quince what it is. It is to these people, both past and present Quincers, to whom I owe a great deal of thanks for giving me one of the most important experiences in my life. Thank you!
